Chapter 2 Overview

CADISON Release 8 deploys the Sentinel LM Technology of SafeNet for the purpose of software protection and licensing. The objective for the implementation of the new Licensing Manager in CADISON is to achieve more transparency within the licensing procedure, but also to achieve better handling of the licensing administration. The CADISON Licensing Manager now offers fully new user screens and tools, which significantly ease the system administrator, as well as the CADISON user, during the performance of registration, activation, and administration of CADISON licenses. Furthermore, the Licensing Manager offers new features regarding check in and out procedures of network licenses for mobile workstations.

The networking functionality of the ITandFactory Licensing Manager enables the use of a licensing pool within a (company) network, whereby the necessity becomes obsolete to register each single workstation. The licenses are provided by a NLM server (Network Licensing Manager Server). The neccesary licenses will be debited from each single CADISON workstation on demand. The licenses will be provided if registered and is available for the according module. If no license is freely available on the NLM server any more, the according module is not able to run. A network license for a CADISON application is then debited if this application is running on a workstation (client). It does not matter, how often this application is running on the workstation; NLM always debit one license. That means, only one license is needed for an application per workstation in all cases. This principle also applies for CADISON data models. You can administer the NLM server and the licensing pool by deploying the registration and licensing service program, and by using the Sentinel LM administration tool „WlmAdmin.exe“.

Chapter 3 Licensing Types

Three different types of licenses are supported in Licensing Manager: Demonstration (demo), standalone, and network licenses. A demo license may be activated on any random computer. Standalone and network licenses depends on the computer hardware configuration; any may only be freely activated based on a computer ID. A licensing code may be requested for a certain CADISON module and its software release.

1. Demo Licenses

If CADISON R8 is installed for the first time, the user has fully access to all installed modules for the duration of 15 days. Afterwards it is no longer possible to run CADISON R8 in demo mode. Reinitialisation or Reinstallation take no effects. Furthermore, CADISON demo mode cannot be deployed in an existing CADISON domain and productive environment.

2. Standalone Licenses

Standalone (single workplaces) licenses are computer specific licenses, which means, the licenses are linked to the computer hardware configuration, and may only be used on this computer for a certain time duration or for unlimited time. Standalone license are not transferable, which means, they may not be checked out for another computer.

3. Network Licenses

Network licenses are handeled by ITandFactory Network Licensing Manager. Network licenses are linked to the computer hardware configuration, the NLM is running on. Furthermore, the number of users is contained in a network licensing code. NLM controls the number of client accesses to a software module using this user number. A maximum number of clients may simultaneously check in to a license to use a CADISON module, as number of users defined in the licensing code. Furthermore, network licenses can be checked out from the NLM for using CADISON offline from the NLM within a defined time period. (you find more information on this issue in chapter 7). Standalone and network licenses are normally activated for an unlimited time period. On demand, activation is possible for a certain time period (time bomb).

Data Model Shipping CDSN_EXT_SHIP

Data Model Project Management CDSN_EXT_PM

License debit, application dependency

Object models are stored in the database upon initialization. Object models are used by the CADISON applications PDM, Engineer, Navigator, and Designer. Licenses only debited for the CADISON modules Engineer and Designer. Please make sure, that you have the right number of network licenses for each object model, you are installed and initialized at your CADISON domain. Normaly, licenses for CADISON applications are incrementally debited at program launch. Special CADISON applications debited licenses only during runtime. A PDM license is also incrementally debited down next to the actual license if using the CADISON modules Engineer and Designer. For the Designer module, your license cannot directly be incrementally debited down upon software run by the application, because the system can only respond upon the first command of the user if Plant Engineering or ET functionality is deployed. Furthermore, 2D and 3D operations is differentiated in the Plant Engineering module. This is performed in the deployed plan during drawing procedures. A license of the CADISON P ISOGEN module is incrementally debited upon activation of the commands “Generate Isometrics” and “Graphical Illustration”, and immediately released again after completion of the command. The license of the CADISON module ACIS Converter is handled like the CADISON module P ISOGEN.

Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration

This chapter describes the installation and configuration procedure of the client, and of the NLM server.

Requirements

In order for the CADISON system to achieve operational status in compliance with the Licensing Manager, the following requirements are necessary on the workstation (client) and/or on the server:

Installation of Windows 2000 Prof., Windows XP or Windows 2003 An installed and adjusted TCP/IP protocol

Principally, it is differentiated between the installation on a server , and the installation on clients.

Installation and Configuration of Clients

The installation procedure is performed via the provided installation setup.exe file on the CADISON R8 DVD.

���� Caution: As a matter of course, backup procedures shall be performed on the respective system prior to installation .

No information is needed during the CADISON installation with regard to choice of license type. The consideration to decide if the CADISON Standalone license type, or if the Licensing Manager is deployed for licensing via a network, may be made upon performing a CADISON installation at any time. In any case, the necessary tools for administration and registration of licenses are included in the installation scope of the CADISON standard installation. If you would like to perform licensing of the CADISON Standalone type, you do not need to make any further change to your system, as all necessary steps are automatically performed within your system. You can find the information with regard to licensing requirements and activation in chapter 7. Two variations may be considered if you would like to perform licensing of CADISON in connection with a NLM server:

1. CADISON is installed on a workstation (client), which is always connected to the network and have permanent access to the NLM server. In this case, you insert the following code line into the CADISON initialization file “cadison.ini” found in the directory “PHi-CADISON”: LSHOST=Servername

���� Caution: Please ensure that you declare the correct name of the server or alternatively its IP address.

Page 9: ITandFactory Licensing Manager - CADISON

9/38 Licensemanager Guide ITandFactory GmbH

Example: The name of the network computer, on which the network version of Licensing Manager has been installed, is e.g. “NLM_SVR”. In order to enable CADISON to check out a license from this NLM server, the name of the NLM server must entered as follows to the file “cadison.ini” within the Windows directory:

2. If more than one NLM-server exists in your company and licenses are spread, CADISON will find those servers via the variable LSHOST in the subnet. It is important, in which order the names or ip-adresses of all NLM-server are written, since CADISON checks from left-to-right. All server-names must be separated by “:”. Example: LSHOST=server1:server2:server3 This means, if server1 has no license free, server2 will be contacted and so on. To avoid unnecessary loss of performance, only computers of the actual network should be named here. We suggest a maximum of 5 NLM-servers.

3. CADISON is installed to a mobile computer (e.g. a laptop), which has temporary no access to the NLM server. In this case, you need the supplementary installation of NLM Client Tools next to the code line entry into cadison.ini, which is described above, so that CADISON can be performed independently from an NLM server. The NLM server may check out licenses for a defined time period via the help of Client Tools. You may find detail information in chapter 7 “Check Out Licenses”. In cadison.ini the variable LSHOST would look like this: LSHOST=NO-NET:server1 If no local license existst, CADISON will check server1 for licenses. The following steps must be performed if NLM Client Tools is to be installed on the system for the purpose of the checking in and out of licenses:

• Please run the installation routine of the Licensing Utilities.

• Upon clicking into NLM Setup dialog box, accept the default-settings and continue.

Inspection of the Working Environment

The Service Sentinel LM

The Sentinel LM Service is activated on the system upon successful installation of the NLM server (see illustration 19).

Illustr. 19: Windows Box for Services

The Environmental Variable LSERVRC

The system environmental variable „LSERVRC” is adjusted in the system by Setup. This environmental variable serves to localize the license file. The default directory for the license file is found in the CADISON directory “…\System\Winnt” for a CADISON installation, and in the default directory for a NLM server installation without CADISON the directory %WINDIR%\System32 .

Page 22: ITandFactory Licensing Manager - CADISON

22/38 Licensemanager Guide ITandFactory GmbH

Communication Client/Server

Communication between the NLM server and the client is performed via the TCP/IP network protocol. The client must be capable to identify the NLM server in the network. If a client cannot find the NLM server, it must first be inspected if a network connection exists to both from a physical viewpoint. In the course, please ensure that the network plugs and cables are intact. Furthermore, it must be guaranteed that Port 5093 is not blocked by a firewall, and another service. This port is used by Sentinel LM on standard terms, and was registered for “Rainbow Technologies Inc. / SafeNet” on regular terms. It may be recommended that the NLM server and the client be found in the same sub-network. You may test if the client can process the name and the IP address of the NLM server (see the example in illustration 20) via the help of the diagnosis program “PING”.

Chapter 6 License Administration

License Request

New licensing codes are required for the according releases upon new installation and update installation. License codes for a new standalone workplace and an NLM (network) are generated by ITandFactory GmbH on the basis of a Request File. The necessary Request File must be generated by the user on his/her workstation and on a NLM server. The generation of a request code may be performed directly upon a CADISON and NLM installation, or also later. The necessary steps for the generation of a Request File for standalone licenses are performed as follows: Please choose the menu “Registration and Licensing” from the start-up menu / Programs / CADISON R7 / Administration.

Illustr. 21: Menu Registration And Licensing The dialog box “ITandFactory Registration And Licensing” is then opened.

Inspection of Licenses

Via the tab “License Utilities” found in the dialog box “ITandFactory Registration and Licensing”, the licenses may also be inspected on the standalone computer, and on all NLM servers found in the sub-network. If the licenses are to be inspected on the NLM, please click on the button “Display Network Licenses”. The program searches for all NLM servers of the sub-network, and lists them. All modules are displayed in the list, as to which licenses exist in the chosen NLM server. Furthermore, you view in this list, how many licenses are available for a software module in total, and how many of them are presently deployed and checked out. Further information with regard to license type and validity of the license code is displayed in the field on the right lower side upon clicking a module in the list. In order to update information in the list, you must click once again on the button “Display Network licenses”. Please click again on the button “Display Standalone Licenses” to display such from the locally deployed computer.

Illustr. 33: Sentinel LM Administration Tool

Page 32: ITandFactory Licensing Manager - CADISON

32/38 Licensemanager Guide ITandFactory GmbH

Check-in and check-out of Licenses

The opportunity to check-out licenses, for e.g. a notebook, is an important feature provided by the Sentinel Licensing Management System. You may then operate outside of the company network using CADISON with these checked out licenses. If the computer is re-connected to the company network, the licenses may again be checked in to the NLM server. The customer may define the time duration for check out. If this time duration expired, the licenses are automatically deactivated on the client and activated on the server so that they are available for all clients within the network again. Of course, you may manually check in the checked out licenses again prior to the maturing of this time duration. Two procedural options are available to check out licenses from a client within Sentinel LM.

���� Caution: In order to be able to use the checked out licenses on the client computer, the code line “LSHOST=NO-NET” must be inserted into the file “cadison.ini”.

1. Check Out of Licenses in Direct Access Mode

Direct access means, the client can identify the NLM server in the network, and the client is capable to check out licenses from the server. If the client fulfills this requirement, the client may check out the available licenses from NLM via the help of the Sentinel LM Tool “WCommute.exe”.

Working with the Tool “WCommute”

If the NLM Client Tool is installed on the system, it may be run via the Start-up Menu / Programs / ITandFactory / Network Licensing Manager / Commuter Licensing. If the dialog box for “Registration and Licensing” is open, clicking on the button „License Check In/Out“ may run the tool.

Page 33: ITandFactory Licensing Manager - CADISON

33/38 Licensemanager Guide ITandFactory GmbH

Illustr. 34: Sentinel Tool for License Check Out

The dialog box now opens (see illustration 34). If all of the NLM servers of the network should be listed, please click on the button “Search Subnet”. By this, all servers are displayed that possess available licenses. If a certain server should be displayed, please click on the button „Single Server“. A dialog box is subsequently opened. Please enter the name and the IP address of the desired NLM server, and accept with “OK” (see illustration 35).

Illustr. 35: Entry Field of Specified NLM server

All licenses available on the server are now displayed, and may be checked out if you mark a feature in the list, and accept via the button “Check Out”. Please take care to define the number of days just as you need it. 180 days are a default value here. A red check sign is set in front of the feature chosen (Software Module ID) upon successful check out of a license. This procedure must be performed for all CADISON modules, for which you need a license, e.g. if you want work with CADISON Engineer you must check out the licenses for CADISON PDM, CADISON Engineer, and all data modules that you have installed on your CADISON domain. You will find more information in chapter 5 pertaining to the CADISON Licensing Model.

Page 34: ITandFactory Licensing Manager - CADISON

34/38 Licensemanager Guide ITandFactory GmbH

Illustr. 36: Sentinel LM Tool for License Check In In order to check in licenses prior to the end of the defined check out time period, you need the same tool “WCommute”, just as for the check out of licenses. You must only mark the according module with a red check sign, and then click on the button „Check In“. The check sign in the list is deleted, and this license will be released from your computer. This license is again available for the server (see illustration 36).

2. License Check Out for Remote Computers

If the client computer does not possess direct access to the NLM server, it may be checked out by accessing the needed licenses of the NLM server from any computer in the network. The computer that checks out licenses for a remote computer must possess network access to the NLM server in any case, and furthermore, the NLM Client Tool must be installed to its system. The following steps must be performed in order to check out licenses for a remote computer: The tool “WRCommute” must be run from the directory “Start-up Menu / Programs / ITandFactory / Network Licensing Manager / Remote Commuter Licensing” on the remote computer. The tool is assigned to two tasks: Generation of an ID key for the computer, from which licenses are activated, and the activation of the license code, which was checked out based on the computer ID via the agent computer of a NLM server. The computer ID (locking code) must be stored in a file on the remote computer in any case, and this file must be sent to the agent computer.

Page 35: ITandFactory Licensing Manager - CADISON

Illustr. 37: Sentinel LM Tool “WRCommute” to Generate Computer ID

Button to copy the computer ID to the clipboard.

Button to insert the computer ID to a file.

Button to display the computer ID to a separate dialog box.

The agent computer receives the file with the computer ID of the remote computer, and runs the tool “WCommute”, from which licenses are checked in and out. As the licenses are checked out for another computer, one must take care that the switch “Check out authorization for remote machine” is turned on. That means that this license is checked out for a remote computer.

Page 36: ITandFactory Licensing Manager - CADISON

36/38 Licensemanager Guide ITandFactory GmbH

Illustr. 38: License Check Out for a Remote Computer

If you now click the button “Check Out”, a dialog box opens, in which the file name including the ID of the remote computer is entered (see illustration 39). Upon clicking the button “OK”, a new dialog box opens, in which the name of the file may be entered, and in which the license code should be copied into (see illustration 40). This procedure must be performed for all requested licenses, whereby one may/should store all licenses of a file in order to enable the activation of licenses in one step from the remote computer.
